Saying "bless you" to someone for sneezing is silly and a throwback to old superstitions. Why don't we say "bless you" whenever we rip a thunderous fart?

If anyone ever says "bless you" to me after sneezing, I just say, "thanks, but I'm not superstitious." And if they ask what I mean then I tell them about how that superstition began.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
